No use getting your jockeys in a wad about today’s Guantánamo announcement. At its height, the Detention facility at Guantánamo housed 628 prisoners. There is no funding or infrastructure to support what they’re talking about. It’s not just the tents to house the migrants. You’re looking at 15 to 20 times the number of personnel who will then guard those people. And then there’s the question of where you’re going to house the thousands of people you’re going to need to guard and staff such a facility And mess halls for them. And food for them.
This is like turning on the faucets in California. Donnie just knows that Joe Biden decreased the number of people at Guantánamo and that people have been saying for years Guantánamo should just be closed because it’s inefficient and expensive. But there’s a significant brain dead MAGA faction Guantánamo is the way to go.

Ainsley Earhardt makes a case for RFK Jr:
Have you MET anyone from the American Nutritional Supplement industry? If there was a pasta that keeps you from gaining weight they’d be importing it and charging $23 a box. You shilled for Dr. ‘$40 Green Coffee Extract” Oz.
They don’t get fat like us because they don’t get a morning milkshake with a little coffee, 64oz Big gulps and they don’t drive a quarter mile to get a Whopper from the drive through. This is not a hard conceptual brain puzzle.
We always want to remember that cops are human like the rest of us. While many are dedicated public servants, they are not God, Jesus, or Mother Teresa. They’re not there to help you, and some are rogues like the 20 DEA agents arrested for “crimes ranging from perjury and assault to wire fraud and money laundering on behalf of the same drug cartels” they’re supposed to be taking down. Thus, when you’re accosted by police, you should assume out of an abundance of caution they’re members of a criminal gang, and comport yourself accordingly. Assert your rights, keep your mouth shut, and get a lawyer. Name, rank, and serial number, and that’s it.

Trump backed down from his federal funding freeze, suggesting he doesn’t know WTF he’s doing. Extrapolating forward, his planned invasion of Greenland can be expected to cost American lives for nothing (i.e., Denmark, with NATO assistance, keeps Greenland). This guy needs a babysitter.
I’m all for Elon going to Mars, and I’m willing for taxpayers to foot the bill on the condition he doesn’t come back.
https://publicola.com/2025/01/28/city-of-burien-makes-unsheltered-homelessness-a-crime/
Burien city officials claim it creates an incentive for homeless people to go into shelters, but Burien doesn’t have a shelter, and can’t present evidence it has sheltered a single person through private or non-profit providers.
With those added facts, this law is of dubious constitutionality, because it criminalizes a status instead of behavior. I recall the Supreme Court years ago threw out a California law that made it a crime to be a drug addict.
Of course, we have a different Supreme Court now, and it’s possible individuals have no constitutional rights or protections anymore.
@3 I don’t think Trump cares about HIV or AIDS per se. He enjoys watching people die. He can’t wait for the Israelis to march the surviving Gaza population into the Egyptian or Jordanian desert without food or water. He would rather arm Russia than Ukraine, and is itching to invade Greenland to get some American, Danish, and French soldiers killed, and most of Greenland’s population with them. Don’t forget he wanted to execute the Central Park Five after they were exonerated, and had a hissy fit when Biden pardoned most of the inmates on federal death row. Trump loves death. He probably pulled wings off monarch butterflies when he was a kid. Most of the people worshipping at his feet are death lovers, too.
But they’re also in it for money, and they haven’t figured out yet that dead and deported people don’t buy stuff. Someday they’ll wake up and wonder, “Where did all the customers go?” And we’ll answer, “You killed them.” And they’ll reply, “Oh.” 🤦♂️
@4 The plan is to cut a hole in the fence so they can escape into Cuba, and let Castro’s successors house and feed them. Very cost effective.
Trump and republicans revokes temporary protected status for 600,000 Venezuelans

What’s the purpose of the email field?
@19 I’m guessing so Goldy/Darryl can verify posts using your screen name are by you. The email address doesn’t show on the public page, so it’s an easy way for them to spot imposters, who usually wouldn’t know your email address. Also, in case they want to contact you for some reason.

It might be a slowing economy (except the economy isn’t slowing), or higher interest rates on auto loans (except interest rates are coming down), or a large chunk of the car-buying population flipping him a big fat “fuck you.”
I remember when I thought Teslas were kinda cool; now, I wouldn’t touch one with an electrician’s 10′ fiberglass pole. I suspect millions of my fellow citizens don’t want to be seen driving a fascist car, either.

Got it. Seems like it’s used in reverse fashion. Cause I get tired putting it in so I make up one real quick, a different one each time.
But I guess by doing so I don’t protect myself, because they won’t know now if someone else posts as me, oh well

If I owned a Tesla I’d burn it or drive it into a lake.
It’s been a while since the U.S. has experienced an air disaster, but this evening an Army Blackhawk helicopter collided midair with an American Airlines regional jet carrying 64 crew and passengers on approach to Reagan Airport in Washington D.C., and both aircraft are believed to be in the Potomac River. Daily Mail, which has a video of the collision, says 4 survivors have been pulled from the water.

According to my quickie research, the last mass-fatality airline crash in the U.S. occurred in 2009. Here we are 9 days into Trump’s presidency and we get one. Involving a military aircraft to boot. But he hasn’t had time to fire the ATC controllers and replace them with political hires yet, so this has gotta be Biden’s fault.
I’m watching a D.C. TV station live on YouTube, and a commenter posted,
THE ARMY HELICOPTER WAS TOLD BY ATC TO SLOW DOWN AND LET THE CRJ-700 COMMERCIAL PASSENGER AIRLINER TO LAND AND THE ARMY HELICOPTER DID NOT LISTEN TO ATC AND KILLED US CIVILIANS THE DoD NEEDS TO ANSWER
This is Pete Hegseth’s DoD now. When somebody fucks up this badly, heads roll, starting at the top. I propose firing the SecDef.
Was that a DEI Helicopter?
Of course

Daily Mail says, “The plane is said to have split in two and is in around seven feet of water, while the helicopter is upside down and is unstable, according to the outlet.”
NBC News says survival time in 37-degree water is 60-90 minutes, and “we’re well past that now.”
Well done that’s awkward.

If this bill passes, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott can’t send the Texas Rangers or Texas National Guard to round up immigrants in Washington State without our governor’s permission. Good. We don’t need foreign invaders in our state, and Texicans are foreigners as far as I’m concerned.
